Rob Riggle Goes to China

All week, Rob Riggle of The Daily Show has been acting out his exuberant American routine in China. Last night's interview with BizChina's anchor Rui Chenggang was a particular gem for China media watchers. Rui, who has interviewed a whole host of prominent American business leaders (not to mention Chinese ones), gives no ground to Riggle, parrying all Riggle's Daily-Show style ambushes. Unfortunately, the only available online clip is the entire episode of last night's show at Comedy Central (head here--the clip starts at 6:42, and you'll have to watch a short ad).
